Third place, for pandering to the judge, goes to the lovely Miz Ulibelle for her caption: "The Angela Goddess filled this with Kibble bits."

Second place, for sounding like a voice-over guy from an episode of Nova, goes to the ever-clever Skildude for his caption: "Evidence of Raccoon creativity"

But for truly understanding how raccoons always skip the fluff and get right to the heart of the matter... food, the honor of first place is indisputably awarded to KWSN The Holy Hand Grenade for his entirely appropriate caption: "I hate it when they stick a candle inside..."

Rules reminder: it's 10 captions (in 24 hours) or 48 hours MAX... whichever occurs first! I may push the hours on this one, as I will be on the road (with a laptop...) and may not be precise on time....

I'll be declaring the winner from the Halloween-appropriate location of Death Valley National Park CA, from below sea level! (...The park contains the lowest point on the North American continent, although I'll be above that... [there is no internet access, or cell phone service, at BadWater...]).
